Abstract
The ranges of bone lesion and synovial membrane lesion in RA hip joints were examined using MRI, and compared with histopathologic images.
T1 emphasized images are able to indicate the range of the lesions rich in blood circulation of the synovial membrane, and low in blood circulation in territories with signals that show tendency of blood distributor around synovial membrane lesion.
These results suggest that T1 emphasized images conbined with the usual T1 emphasized image provide useful information for determining the remedy for RA.
